| Abstract [eng] |
The thesis covers the information about internal industrial logistics that are carried out in automotive industries and warehouses. Fork lifts are the most commonly used device when it comes to logistics and these forklifts are have few downfalls which are analyzed and to rectify these downfalls, an automatic guided vehicle is designed theoretically. The design of the automatic guided vehicle provides the necessary information such as motor torque, size of the vehicle to analyze the space and time consumed by the AGV and compare it with the forklift to understand that AGVs are more efficient than forklifts. A simple logistics floor plan was designed and based on the mechanical design energy efficiency cost was calculated and compared between AGVs and forklifts. A market analysis was conducted in few industries to assess the position of AGVs to enter the logistics market and the outcome has influenced the manufacturing cost. Manufacturing cost also plays a major role since the AGVs were found to be less expensive compared to forklifts. |
